Granted this is mainly to Liverpool but you look at the below team of players they've sold in the past 4 years and its no wonder they're in trouble; this would be a top 6 team
Gazzaniga
Clyne Van Dijk Lovren Shaw
Wanyama Schneiderlin
Mane Lallana Tadic
Pelle
Their recruitment to replace these players has been poor also Carrillo £19m (now on loan), Gunn for £12m when they already have McCarthy and Forster, Bouffal £16m (also on loan) etc

Just shows the disparity between Premier League football and the rest of Europe when Watford, Palace, Newcastle, Wolves, Burnley are above PSG, Barca, Real, Bayern and Dortmund etc
18 of the 20 its shameful really considering we also get the most TV money by far as well.
I went to see Bayern vs Berlin last season, a top 6 clash in the Bundesliga for 18 Euro's!! That wasn't even the cheapest seat

I've refrained from writing anything until this point, mainly due to the state of shock and disbelief I've felt since hearing the news on Saturday. However I also wanted to cling onto the hope that the fate of the great man was not as widely speculated.
He is responsible for the greatest period of this clubs history and for me personally the greatest moments I've ever witnessed and second only to my wedding day as the happiest days of my life. Without this man, none of it would have been possible. I would constantly tell my friends and family (and anyone that would listen) that my club have the greatest owners in the world. We all had a slight smile when the free beers, doughnuts and mince pies were announced but it wasn't with rolled eyes but it was because it was a familiar reminder of our owners generosity. No other clubs had these gestures which he didn't have to do, he wanted to do them. His way of saying thank you. However all along we are the ones who always were and always will be thankful.
The legacy he has left behind at our club cannot be overstated. He will never be forgotten and we cannot let it be forgotten. A humble, generous man who not only positively impacted this club and its fans but the wider community. He fully embraced the City as much as the club.
Rest in Peace

Ahead of this weekends game, Skysports are doing a 'select your own Mourinho Premier League XI'. It shows the quality of the current United team that only one of them made it into mine and even then i could easily have even selected 2004-07 Cech over De Gea
De Gea
Ivanovic Carvalho Terry Cole
Makelele Essien
Lampard
Robben Drogba Hazard

Yes there is no pleasing everyone and this is a price to pay for TV injecting so much money into our game but decisions like the Spurs game, makes such little sense,
The last train to London is 9.53! Meaning practically all the Spurs fans and a fair few Leicester fans who live in Harborough or Kettering will either have to drive (everyone loves doing that on a Saturday night) or miss the last 10 minutes of the game. Add that to the fact that it's likely to be a lot of people Xmas night out. Saturday lunch time or Sunday would just make so much more sense.
I didn't think that stupidity could be topped until I saw Everton at Lunch time on NYD! Leicester fans will need to leave around 8am to make it! Happy New Year guys

With the 50th anniversary and remastered set coming up, I challenged myself to make the ultimate White Album single album. Taking into consideration the time constraints and two sided nature of the 1968 release i came up with the below
Side One
Back In The USSR
Dear Prudence
Revolution 1
Everybody's Got Something to Hide...
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Happiness is a Warm Gun
Julia
Side Two
Helter Skelter
Yer Blues
Mother Nature's Son
I'm So Tired
Blackbird
Sexy Sadie
Cry Baby Cry
More Lennon heavy than I'd have thought originally but also a lot tougher. Songs like Piggies and Rocky Racoon often get thrown away as filler but they have a certain charm and i'm so used to having them on the album I think i'd miss them.

The state of the bottom 6 or so is awful. Apparently the standard of the league is getting better?? Those lot are just dreadful.
Us, Wolves and Everton can have a battle royale with Man United for 6th😀
i think the 3 already in the relegation places are already done. Calling it early but 32 points will be enough this season

Sounds weird but i actually think Oasis are underrated (or more precisely Noel as a songwriter)
Their output from 94-97 was prolific on a scale really seen before or since. Over 60 officially released original tracks in three years (4 albums worth of material) of outstanding class including some of the finest B-sides in musical history.
They went a bit shit (or average) in the 00's but that mid 90's period should not be overlooked. I mean look how shit the Stones and the Who went from 75 onwards and somehow that's brushed under the carpet when their legacy is questioned. With Oasis, maybe because they're more recent, it's the first thing people tend to mention.

I can't see it happening ever again but I would wish them every success,
As another post said earlier, the support and admiration given to us from supporters of other clubs was tremendous when we won it, It'd be a bit petty if it wasn't reciprocated,
We were Premier League Champions in 15/16 nothing can ever change that

Can’t believe some moaners in here!
We played incredibly well for 80 mins of that game and we did ourselves proud. Trust me that’ll be one of the toughest games they’ll have this season
Maddison, Chilwell and Mendy were all 10/10 and if we play anywhere near that against the vast majority of the other teams in the league we’ll smash em
The team we played today were in the Champions League final 3 months ago and we outplayed them for most the match.
Heads up guys, this team of ours is pretty damn good

This sums this forum up in two sentences
After the Man United game I felt flat as a witches tit. We had 60% possession and he better chances but did it matter? Did it ****, we lost
We win today, away from home and people moan! 3 points is 3 points
I look forward to MOTD tonight

Fantastic signing and all but confirmes we’re going 3-5-2 next season which is great. With this lad, Evans and Maguire we have one of the best defences in the league, Chilwell and Perrira as Wing backs. Add Ndidi, Silva and Morrison in midfield and Vardy and Ihenacho up front and it’s looking very good indeed.

I honestly don’t mind our transfer business so far but no way are we done,
With that said I expect a CB more than a winger because it’s obvious to me that next season were playing narrower and likely to go to 5 at the back,
Maddison cannot play as part of a midfield two and I doubt we’ll only play Vardy up front with him behind.
Perrrira and Chilwell and natural wing backs and we have more CM’s than most teams will ever need.
I have us down like this
Kasper
Evans New CB Maguire
Perriera Chilwell
Silva Ndidi
Maddison
Ihenacho Vardy
With Diabate, Gray, Okazaki, Albrighton etc and whoever remains from our huge squad who remains in backup

Where the hell has this £12m talk come from? All reputable source say £10m and most of them say it includes any possible bonuses
Good signing if you ask me and good competition for Kasper. Also most Liverpool fans expected him to push for the first team before Allison signed

Apart from our investigation regarding the 13/14 season, what is people’s obsession with FFP?
I agree that we’ll see a lot of outgoings this summer but that’s mainly due to having a bloated squad. We’ve spent £50m this summer not £200m! We’re a top half premier league team with wealthy owners who were in the CL QF the season before last and made record profit last year!
Everton had a net spend of over £80m last season and they’re ok. Our net spend won’t be anywhere near that with our outgoings but it wouldn’t matter if it was

I would have liked to keep Dragovic but let’s be honest we’ll be playing with 4 at the back again next season and Maguire and Evans are the first choice CB partnership. We aren’t going to spend £15m on a back up
We do need one more as a back up but it won’t be Drago or anyone close to that price tag
